David Bolsover commented on MCOMPILER-355: ------------------------------------------ I don't know if this will help but faced with the exact same NulPointerException, but associated with a different dependency, I finally solved the problem by removing <type>pom</type> from the dependency specification. I can't see why specifying <type>pom</type> in a dependency should cause a problem - but it does. hth db > NPE in CompilerMojo.preparePaths on exception > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-355 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-355 > Project: Maven Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: ubunutu 18.04. > Reporter: Brett Sutton > Priority: Major > Attachments: testpom.zip > > > I'm getting: > > {code:java} > > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.CompilerMojo.preparePaths > (CompilerMojo.java:244) > at org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.AbstractCompilerMojo.execute > (AbstractCompilerMojo.java:787) > at org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.CompilerMojo.execute > (CompilerMojo.java:188) > at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo > (DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:134) > at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute > (MojoExecutor.java:208) > at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute > (MojoExecutor.java:154) > {code} > > Appears to be caused by the exception handling assuming the 'cause' will be > non-null: > line 244 is: > {code:java} > 243 Throwable cause = pathException.getValue().getCause(); > 244 while ( cause.getCause() != null ) > 245 { > 246 cause = cause.getCause(); > 247 }{code} > > Clearly in some cases pathException.getValue().getCause() is returning null. > This occurs when I try to build a java 10 project using: > {code:java} > mvn deploy{code} > > I've narrowed the problem down to this dependancy: > {code:java} > <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.javamoney/moneta --> <dependency> > <groupId>org.javamoney</groupId> > <artifactId>moneta</artifactId> > <version>1.3</version> > <type>pom</type> > </dependency>{code} > If you remove the above dependency then the problem goes away. > So there is likely to be two problems here.
